    What a match up. The 130 Gatti was young and could move a bit. Chacon would have to get Gatti to war with him. If they stood toe to toe, I think Chacon had the better power and would stop Gatti on cuts. If Gatti moves and boxes a bit, he could win the decision. It depends on whether Gatti could stick to a boxing game plan.

    Chacon would have taken his head off early ... Bobby was a real badass ... love Arturo but way out of his league ...

    I like Chacon at 130 to 135, but Gatti gets him at 140..... A great bloodbath in the making......

    I have Chacon going at it with Arguello at 130 from '79 rolling right now..... Chacon gets stopped in 7 on cuts......
